WINDOW CONSTRUCTION.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 1, 1914.

Application filed March 25, 1914. Serial No. 827,062.

To all whom it may concern:

is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in window constructions and has for its object an improved construction of this character equipped with an improved form of storm sash and window and constructed to facilitate ventilation and also locking of the window.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is an inner perspective view of a window construction embodying my invention, Fig. 2, a perspective view of the lower portion of the storm sash employed in the construction, Fig. 3, a vertical section taken through the window construction, and Fig. 4, a section similar to Fig. 3, but showing the parts in different positions.

The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawings comprises an upper sash 5 and a lower sash 6 slidably mounted in the window frame in the usual manner. An outer storm sash 7 is hinged at its upper end 8 in the window frame and is adapted to close the outer side of the frame as indicated in Fig. 3. Sash 7 is connected at. its lower end by means of links 9 with the lower rail 10 of the upper sash 5, so that when said upper sash is lowered, the lower portion of the storm sash 7 will be swung outwardly and vice-versa to permitof proper ventilation.

The upper portion of sash 5 is connected by a link 11 with a lever 12 which is pivoted to a plate 13 secured to the inner side of they window frame just above the lower sash 6. By this arrangement it will be observed that sashes 6 and 7 may be readily manipulated by means of lever 12. Lever 12 also carries a link 14 having an angularly turned end 15 adapted to engage difl'erent perforations 16 in .an angular plate 17 secured to the upper portion of the lower sash 6. By this arrangement when link 14 is engaged with the uppermost perforation in plate 17 the sashes will be positively locked against opening from the outside. hen link 11 is engaged with one of the lower perforations in plate 17 as indicated in Fig. 1, sashes 5 and 6 will be caused to move in unison with each other andwith sash 7 so as to regulate the ventilation as desired.

VVhile- I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myselfof such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A window construction comprising a frame and upper and lower sashes slidable therein; a storm sash hinged at its upper end in said frame and extending the full length of the window; and an operative connection between the lower rail of said upper sash and the lower portion of said storm sash, whereby lowering of said upper sash swings the lower end of said storm sash outwardly, substantially as described.

2. A window construction comprising a frame and upper and lower sashes slidable therein; a storm sash hinged at its upper end in said frame and extending the fulllength of the window; and a link connection between the lower rail of said upper sash and the lower portion of said storm sash, whereby lowering of said upper sash swings the'lower end of said storm sash outwardly, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
